use OF invectives on the hustings that disguised
even those Mugwumps who had announced
their intention OF advocating o change.
The Democrats contented themselves with
advocating the principles that have heretofore
won them popular support, and showed up tho
alleged reformers In their true light. The re-
suit proves that Maryland CON now. as hereto
